@BZedan - hah! Last thing anyone would have accused me of at that age (or any other, I suspect) would have been that I was a 'tough guy'. That said, I was a Sixer in the Cub Scouts, and damn proud of it. I sewed the badge on myself. :)

Before going to an anti-prom in a dress I designed. Anti-prom because I didn't have anyone to go with. Senior year sucks when it just so happens that all of your friends (except one that I wasn't that close to) move away...

And I found this one while looking for a photo of me at 18 and couldn't resist:Me at 14 or 15, after an evil evil hike that started way too early in the morning and took me way to long to get to the top (by the time breakfast had been long eaten). But at least I got to pick pretty flowers and talk to someone's grandma who was as slow as me.

@zoetica I think that photo of you at 13 is my favorite all time pic of you.

@Trini, your anti-prom dress is lovely, and makes me very happy. I wish I'd been crafty enough to sew such a thing for my own anti (climactic) prom, which I attended with a 6'7 platonic male friend. I am approx 5'2. The sight of us dancing together was... well, a sight. (I wore some sort of ridiculous rennie sack dress...remind me to scan a photo if I'm feeling brave.)

Me being an asshole, high school graduation:

Please take special note of the boss pewter dragon pendant from Medieval Times, and that I am making an oh-so-clever "wank" gesture with my right hand.

This "self portrait time machine thread" deserves a thread of its own. Still the end of the year is a nice time to do it. I don't know how old I was when these were taken.

I was a vampire, my siser was a vampire poodle.

I was standing in a river.

My sister upped these to her flickr account along with some old photos of my parents in college that I'd never seen before. It made me feel heavy with the past, but in a good way. That's where you were back then, but so many things have happened since then and so many things are still going to happen in the future! Holy crap life is exciting. Even when it's not.
